-inspired horror comedy, '' The Editor'', was directed by Adam Brooks and Matthew Kennedy in 2014. In 2016, Astron-6 produced the web series ''Divorced Dad''. The series was described by the filmmakers as 'a love letter to the endearingly incompetent cable access television shows created by far from screen-ready small town celebrities during the 1980s and 90s'. Gillespie and Kostanski directed the 2016 horror film ''The Void'', intended as a departure from Astron-6's more comedic work. The film showcases more of Kostanski's creature and practical effects as seen in Astron-6's earlier films.
